is the bachelor. he was nominated. he had to get i think 2/3 majority approval in the house and senate. and he did. [ laughter ] he comes from a small town in indiana. the town he comes from is so small it doesn't even have a mansion filled with 28 single women. he had to come here for that. and what a group of women they came up with. one showed up in a unicorn mask. one gave ben a full-on dental exam. one only spoke russian. and that's not the crazy -- the crazy thing is he gave all three of those women a rose. they all continue on to next week. so tonight they did the thing where all the ladies come out of the limo to introduce themselves. it's a big moment because the contestants want to do something creative to distinguish themselves. and that, my friends, is almost always a mistake. >> hey, handsome. >> hello, beautiful. >> ready to play ball? yes, i'm ready for football. >> hut hut. >> hut, hut, hike. >> i like a lady with class. i really do. i hope she introduces herself to his mother like that. she got a rose.

[ laughter ] so i got an advance copy of "the bachelor" last night, had it on in the kitchen while i was making dinner. my wife is wching it in the living room, and my wife is a very nice, very, very nice person. she's alone in the living room, and i hear her as i'm making salmon, she's talking. she's yelling at the tv. she's saying like, "please, you wore a onesie. you showed up in pajamas. what did you expect?" and this goes on throughout the show. i'm just kind of listening. and i hear her say, "looks like someone went to ann taylor loft." which i think is an insult but i don't actually know. and then she says, "you have the worst highlights i've ever seen." and then at the end of the rose she says, "bye, weirdos and whores." [ laughter ] this show has turne

>> no. >> jimmy: do you watch "the bachelor"? urse one of the great things that you do on "game of thrones," your character, you say the meanest things in a very cool way. you insult the others. you actually threaten them, that sort of thing. and this happens on "the bachelor" as well with the women. and they also are drinking, as you do. so i thought it might be fun. we put some of the real lines from the show this year in our teleprompter for you to read them in character, if you would. >> okay. >> jimmy: i know you're not dressed for it. but we do have, guillermo, bring a goblet of wine.

we have an important episode of "the bachelor"o go through. if you missed it you're not living your life if you're not week. the gang went to las vegas tonight. they rounded them up, stuck them on a greyhound, they sent them to vegas for amazing, amazing romantic moments like this. i do think our ridede arriving. >> stop it. >> jojo's taking a helicopter, i knew it. >> oh my gosh. >> jimmy: well. [ cheers and applause ] unfortunately they were blown over the side of the building and killed so the show's over. they're dead. that was the one-on-onedate. during the group date, the ladies were asked/forced to participate in a talent show. which is a big reason why these women are on "the bachelor" in the first place, b@cause they have no talent. their talent is looking good in a cocktail dress. it's kind of an unfair position to put them in. during the talent show, olivia who's taken over as the nutty one since lace bolted the show jumped out of a fake cake wearing skimpy lingerieawn jer way at a it was more a cry for help than a talent show. that
